There wouldn’t be this lovely place, The Gift Designers, without the inspiration and efforts of Noreen over the past 22+ years. Noreen is the Chief Designer and has been guiding this business in all things basket design since Day 1.

Noreen’s favourite part of the job is “serving our guests together as a team”! This teamwork focus has helped Noreen grow over the years. Noreen regularly attributes TGD’s success to the collaborate nature of her company. “Together we can accomplish much. The strength of the group is far greater that the individual”.

One of Noreen’s favourite things is “hearing the joy of our birthday winners”. A memorable moment was “coming together with purpose during a time when our world seemed to be falling apart”. I remember clearly how valuable our team support was during Covid.

Designers’s Choice: Noreen’s top design pick is Charcuterie themed gifts.  Why, you ask?! “Because it is what I enjoy most and would not only want to receive it but I am so proud to give it”.

In addition to the Charcuterie designs, Noreen also is loving our experience baskets right now. The Escape Room and Sweet Mystery are both fantastic gifts that combine treats and activities for your recipient.

Where would we be without Noreen?! So many staff comment on the joy of working at The Gift Designers and how empowered they are in their role. Noreen is the foundation to these core values. While she would humbly point to others’ efforts on the team; we know that she is pivotal to our success. Thank you to Noreen for the ways you encourage each of us to learn, grow, laugh, and serve wholeheartedly.

You are the OG and we’re grateful for your leadership and the love poured into this group, and each guest who has had the privilege of connecting with The Gift Designers over these 22+ years.
